An alien world shaped by mystery and decay awaits in CALX<\/span><\/span><\/a>, the upcoming atmospheric 3D action-adventure title from Italian studio True Colors<\/span><\/span> and French publisher Dear Villagers<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n

The game appeared during the Future Games Show Spring Showcase<\/span><\/span>, where the developers confirmed that CALX will launch on PC on June 4, with console versions for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Series S, and Nintendo Switch planned later in the year. A playable demo is already available on Steam<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Exploring the Planet Syro<\/h4>\n

In CALX, players explore the distant planet Syro, a world inspired by the visual style of legendary artist Jean Giraud<\/span><\/span>. The story follows a lone traveler on a mission to free the planet from a mysterious corruption known as the WARP.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The journey takes players across expansive environments filled with crystal formations, ancient ruins, and remnants of a long-lost civilization. Along the way, players will uncover the planet\u2019s history while confronting the forces responsible for its transformation.<\/p>\n

Movement-Focused Gameplay<\/h4>\n

Movement plays a central role in the design of CALX. As players progress through the game, they will unlock and improve traversal abilities that enhance both combat encounters and exploration.<\/p>\n

These upgrades allow players to navigate Syro\u2019s varied landscapes, discover hidden areas, and experience the planet\u2019s large-scale environments and striking visual compositions.<\/p>\n

A Sci-Fi World Shaped by Art and Music<\/h4>\n

The game\u2019s atmosphere is further defined by its soundtrack composed by Matteo Ferrante<\/span><\/span>, whose work draws inspiration from electronic artist Aphex Twin<\/span><\/span>. The soundtrack adapts dynamically to each biome, shifting between reflective exploration and high-energy combat.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Combined with its Moebius-inspired visuals, the developers aim to create a world where art, music, and gameplay merge into a cohesive experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur intent while creating CALX was to fully immerse players in a distant, alien planet,\u201d said game and narrative designer Gabriele Ferreccio<\/span><\/span>. \u201cWe wanted to recapture that feeling of isolation and discovery that we felt with games like Metroid<\/span><\/span> and Hyper Light Drifter<\/span><\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

CALX<\/span><\/span> launches June 4 on PC, with console versions arriving later in the year for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. Players interested in the game can try the demo now on Steam<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
